When you're 2years old and other half of you mean 1 because1+1=2. Doesn't count days
That was amazing
This problem makes total sense
It didn’t count the days
what i dont even get it witch type of half are you talking about half like 1/2(half of 60 is 30)
ummmm I don’t get it
I don’t get it 😔
I don't get it either😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😴
Makes total sense
When you were 2 years old, your sister was 1 year old. Now that you are 6 0 years old, your sister must be 5 9 years old. The difference between your age and your sister's age is always o n e .
Comment: If today you are 1 0 0 years old, then your sister is 9 9 years old.
The problem says "when i was 2 years old, my sister was half my age." 2/2 = 1, So wouldnt when theyre 60, their sister would be "half my age." which is 30? It didnt say that the difference of their ages was half of 2 years old. Putting that out there for the people who solved it like me. If we're talking about age, being 2 and your sister being 1, next year you would be 3 and your sister would be 2. So it would continue being a 1 year difference, so if your 60 your sister would be 59. I'm realizing that now.

age isn't relative like if my brother is half my age he wouldn't be always half my age.
when i was 2 years old then my sister was 2/2= 1 years old hence there is a difference of 1 year between them hence there age is 60-1=59 years
I thick this is absolutely correct
Good explanation understand it clearly
Hey brother
when i was 2 year old she was 1year old( Half of me ).Means one year younger than me.Now i am 60 so,she definitely be 59 year old(still one year younger than me)
hahaha damn this question tricked me for real. wasnt expecting such an easy answer
When i was 2 yrs old my sister was half (1/2) of my age => sisters age = 2/2=1yr. Means sister is 1 year younger than me => when i am 60 she will be 1 yr less => 59
That's right! Thanks for sharing your insight, Sharath. I upvoted your solution (+1)
'When I was two years old, my sister was half my age'
Then, 2 × 0.5 = 1
She is one year younger then you so, when you are 60 years old your sister will be 59 years old.
you CRUMBS!
i was 2 .my sister was 1.
so, now i am60 and my sister is 59.
but that doesn't mean my sister will die 1 year after me. (just joking)
When u r 2 years old then ur sister age is half..i.e 2/2=1 Now ur age is 60 years old then ur sister age is 59..means ur sister age is less than 1year compared to you.
death u Morons
When you're young 1 represent a lot of your total age, but when you get older one 1 year is much less in comparison,that's why time seems to pass so fast for old people
His/her sister was 1 years old when he was two years old ( 2 2 =1). Therefore, he is 1 year older than his/her. Since he is 60 years old, his sister is 59 years old. SIMPLE AS THAT!
the speaker said when he was 2 years old that's time her sister old 2-1= 1 . Her sister was old 1. i can be say tha she was 1 year youngest. now his old 60 years old. her sister old 60-1=59.
To do this question, we have to figure out how many years in between 60 and 2 and obviously, the answer is 58 . Next we have to figure out the sister's age which is half of two which equals to one. Now we just take the 1 and plus it with 58 which is 59 which is the answer.
when I was 5 years old my brother was still 2. then he turned 3 while I was (and I still am) 6 years old. then mama&gram turned 1 year older.
5alarm keeps me dinking is 5 da answer too dis queston?
Wat da hell? 😐
The half of 2 is 1. So I am 1 year older than my sister. If I am 60 years old. Then, my sister is 59 years old
50 - 1 = 49.
I'm thinking about how old 59 is.
60 - 1 = 59
the answer is 59 as his sister was half of her age when two means he was 1 year older than her .so now when he is 60 her sister is 1 year smaller than him which means 59
50 is a fraction of 59. so. 60 - 1 = 59.
Sister is one year younger than the brother

I am Mr. X and I am 2 years old today I have a sister Miss Y, she is half of my age, mathematically it would be 2/2 = 1
It means her age is 1 year today, so lets see age difference between us:
Age of Mr. X - Age of Miss Y 2 - 1 = 1 (years) which means as we grow I would always be 1year old in age than she is Or It can be said she would always be 1 year less in age from my age.
If I become of 3 she would be 2 If I become of 4 she would be 3 ... So on If I become of 60 she would be 59 (years)
x = speaker age, y = sister age, z = difference in ages
if x = 2, y= 1/2 x, y = 1/2 * 2
z = x - y = 2 - 1 = 1
y = x - z, Therefore y = x - 1
60 - 1 = y, y = 59
1/2 x 2 = 2 So the difference is .............................................................................1 So 60-1=59
Two years divided my two was her sister's age which is 1 therefore she us 1 year older than her sister now that she is 60 hersl sister's age is 60 - 1 =59
2×50%=1 60-1=59
At my age 2, half of 2 is 1. This is a moment in time where my sister is exactly one year younger then me. So at my age 60 she is 59.
if x=35 then 3+4+4-2÷25+7-0+2+3+7=t9
X is my age, Y is my sister age, Z is difference if X = 2 and Y = 1/2 * X then: Y = 1/2 * 2 = 1 Z = X - Y Z = 2 - 1 = 1 if X = 60 then: Z = X - Y 1 = 60 - Y Y = 60 - 1 = 59
mama Mia this is so hard!
When he was 2 years old his sister was 2 2 = 1 years old which is 1 year less then is year.As the differance in ages does not change so the sister,s age is 6 0 − 1 = 5 9 y e a r s o l d
She is 2 years old; her sister is 1 year old. They have a difference of 1 year. If she's 60 years old; of course her sister is 59 years old.
He is 1year older than his sister. Thus 60-1 = 59. Easy but tricky.
She was half her age so she was 1 so when she turns 60 she should be one year younger than her which is 59. How do you get such easy problems on your mind
when he is 2 year old but his sister half year old mean to say she become 1 year old when he is 60 year old then his sister who is half year older than his now she become 59 year old according to his brother age that solve
Given age = 2
Half age of given age is = 1
So, she is 1 year younger than her sister.!
What ever the age might be just subtract 1 from the Age
60 - 1 = 59
he's 2 she's half so his sister is one after he gets 60 she still be1 year younger so 59
When the individual was 2 his sister was 2*1/2=1 yrs old. So when the individual was 60 yrs old his sister was 60-1=59 yrs old.
she was 1/2 his age, 2/2=1 . so, he is 1yr older to her sis when he is 60 her's 59
Very simple. When he was 2 years old her sister was one year younger to him. thats y when he was 60 years old her sister would be 1 year younger and answer is 59
My age=2, so Sisters age=2/2=1
Increase in years for my age to be 60 =60-2=58
So Sister's age after 58 years= 1+58=59
Haha.. who cannot answer within 5 sec? Raise your hands.
🙋🙋🙋🙋
X is my age, Y is my sister age, Z is difference
if X = 2 and Y = 1/2 * X
then:
Y = 1/2 * 2 = 1
Z = X - Y
Z = 2 - 1 = 1
if X = 60
then:
Z = X - Y
1 = 60 - Y
Y = 60 - 1 = 59
X is my age, y is the age of my sister; When x=2 ; y=1 y=x-1 So when x=60; y=60-1=59 Tip: the word "Half" was a trap

When the speaker was 2, the sister was 2 2 = 1 , so she is 1 year younger than the speaker. Now that the speaker is 60, the sister is 59.
